Overheard on a Dixie paper plate commercial:

"I deserve a paper plate that's as strong as I am."

One Sentence Record Review: She & Him Volume One [Merge; 2008] 10.0

She & Him's Volume One sounds just like my crush on Zooey Deschanel.

The State: Cookie Puss

This was quite possibly the best sketch from The State's reunion show at UCB that I was fortunate enough to witness. Behold, comedic brilliance:

Finally, a trailer for Beverly Hills Chihuahua!

This isn't real, right? My window-less apartment has finally put me over the edge, and I shot a trailler and constructed this web site based on a surreal idea for a movie I had, forgot about it, and then found this link, right? Right? Please tell me I'm right because that would be a whole lot more palpable than this being a movie sane people came up with that Disney decided to make.

A reflection on the trailer for The Happening

My historical relationship with girls is not unlike my historical relationship with M. Night Shyamalan's movies: the first few got me really excited, but ever since then I have built up great expectations over each on the basis of brief encounters and then, when people told me bad things, I ended up not seeing them. Is that a stretch? It might be.

This one isn't like that. Although the involvement of Zooey Deschanel is always a plus (I just saw her play with M. Ward on Tuesday and it was magical), the movie seems like it might be too obsessed with Mark Wahlberg's throbbing forehead and I'm not digging the 9/11 imagery/overtures. So maybe the opposite will be true? The trailer leaves me cold but the movie will be good? And then my love life will follow this pattern? And then I will be happy? Only time...
